Staff Supervision Record Form – This is a staff supervision template.

A staff supervision record in early years settings is a structured document used during one-to-one supervision meetings between a manager (or senior practitioner) and a staff member, such as a teaching assistant or key worker. It helps guide the conversation, track progress, and document professional support.

The Benefits of Staff Supervision

Supports Staff Development

• Encourages ongoing professional growth through reflection, feedback, and goal-setting.

• Helps identify training needs early and plan CPD (Continuing Professional Development).

Improves Quality of Care

• Provides space to discuss individual children, including key children’s progress, behaviour, or concerns.

• Encourages staff to think critically about their practice and how to better support children’s learning and wellbeing.

Enhances Safeguarding

• Supervisions are a vital part of safeguarding practice.

• The form prompts regular opportunities to raise concerns or review existing issues in a private, supportive setting.

Boosts Staff Wellbeing and Morale

• Offers a chance to talk about workload, stress, or emotional challenges—something especially important in early years work, which is physically and emotionally demanding.

• Shows staff they are valued and supported.

Creates Accountability

• Clear action points help staff stay focused on their responsibilities.

• Forms provide a written record that can be referred back to during appraisals or if issues arise.

Promotes Consistency and Professionalism

• Encourages a culture of reflection and improvement across the team.

• Helps leadership ensure all staff are aligned with the setting’s values, policies, and EYFS goals.
